http://www.multiupload.com/454AQ3UOAL

PW: nightly@ghostworker

some users wrote good experiance with kg6, so it couldnt be bad ^^
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Sounds good to me.

What does MinimalHome.apk do? I really couldn't find out :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dorilife:
Lol!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Jeez Lenny, thanks for putting me on the spot like that. :p

Btw, I don't see wrong versioning as an issue (bleh versioning isn't even a word lol).

As for the kernel, well most people would have CF-Root or Ninphetamine already installed so it's not like the ROM wouldn't boot because the kernel didin't flash with the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
The default font (starting in KH4) has been changed to a very heavy style which doesn't contrast with its own default bold style font. Primarily, this makes legibility far more difficult in apps that use bold, such as GMail, etc. to differentiate read and unread messages and so forth. This is perhaps where it is most obvious.

I manually replaced the fonts from KH3 to my KH4 fonts folder and the problem resolved. The ugly heavy font isn't something that everyone seems to notice, but it was something that I can't ignore. It also changes the default font in the browsers used to a much heavier, less readable version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] justbenice:
still no change log for new version. So we still don't know what is good about new version. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
And the same answer AGAIN...

There is no changelog, as samsung doesn't give me one. I added MY changes against the base in the first post.

If you want a changelog, please go harass samsung, and not me...

But most people know there's no need to ask what's good about the new version, as it wouldn't exist if it wasn't better :D

smh
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kungvn:
+1, me too :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
/facepalm :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Changelog is MOAR VERSION NUMBAZZ.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hacksome:
I saw a Talkback.apk in this build. Was it there already?.. Probably add it to the 'changelog' :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I prefer new font much more than the old one. Ah well...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
How incompatible is this with [THEME]Black Android Theme V2.5 LIVE?

Will there be a Lite version?

AND

Thank you all for your work, help and support!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
LOL. Ask Samsung, I didn't add that :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johnsin:
Perfectly installed over 2.4.2. No wipe at all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shenye:
I agree with Pulser, when talking about battery, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theninjaway:
The download link on the site wont load for me on my phone. Could someone possibly just attach the zip? Coming over from Cognition and LM75 Rev rom and not that impressed, hoping VR will impress.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AIRagon:
Hi Pulsar, VR Team,

Thanks again for your hard work :)

Is it possible to have an additional Data Toggle in notification bar trough VRTweaks ? I know it can be done by applying themes or using some tools in the forum, but for stability reasons I think it would be great to have it directly in VRTweaks (I feel I can trust VRTweaks more than other mods in the forum, especially because I've tested some of them. am I wrong ?!! :o )

BTW, I searched in Intratech's Thread, can't find XXKI1 modem, did you see it ? or do you have a link ?

Thanks again for your support :)

Flash that first and then black android theme. Its universal theme so it should work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nitroz:
Kahvitahra is correct. It's a universal theme script so it's compatible with any TW ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jason93:
Yes Black Android Theme 2.5 works perfect!!;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] davelinders:
Thanks for this rom I don't see any screenshots but will this

rom has the stock look?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Pulsar doesn't add any unnecessary theme of his liking allowing the user to decide from the relevant selections available. This is as stock as stock so no need for screens :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AIRagon:
Merci beaucoup :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] davelinders:
Thnx stock is good for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AIRagon:
Ok Guys, Best question of this thread :D

Ready ....

Did anyone notice any improvment in KI4 ?? (Samsung side not VR)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
Getting a force close in "settings>applications>manage applications," this is before and after a wipe, am I the only one with this issue?

I did flash the VillainROM v2.5 APM + CRT + OS Mod only
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Awesome. Pulser your theming creator thing is grate no more mods which are overwriting eachother wooohoooo.

Never realized how cool this thing actually is.

They added a new power management widget. Or at least the design is new.

Where's VRTweaks? I really need to fix home button lag :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
just install Kahvitahra's mod. link in my sig
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Those have been there since the dinos ruled the earth :p

Talkback.apk & Kickback.apk are connected to Accessibility. You can see this API in use within our Open Source Android screenreader TalkBack. With TalkBack installed, standard Android user interface elements such as ListView produce spoken feedback during user interaction.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Every Android device has that apk, it's tied to settings - accessibility
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
I tested that, but i had non apps installed. Now that i have it fc's

. Sighh.. Its because of that overscroll.

I did put in same link stock overscroll zip. So flash that and it will work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
If you PM me direct links + description of tweaks I will sort them out.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
just noticed theres a framework-res.apk within system/apps of VR2.5 :p

i'm sure this has been mentioned. carry on, lads!

edit: same for twframework
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
ssshhhhh... I hoped nobody would spot that... It's my uhm... what do you call it? ... uhm... way to identify people who nick the ROM... :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robbiekhan:
Back to VR I go :p Looking forward to VRTweaks update too :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
LOL n00b :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Meh, this was a bit too obvious, I must admit...

The other stuff is a bit less obvious. But yes, I guess he spotted that one quite well :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I've just taken a look through both the ROM sections to quell my curiosity and can safely say you are the first to dabble with the KI4 base. You're a pioneer ;) that should silence those haters.....another first from Villain ROM :D (the others are probably too busy trying to reapply themes :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
hahahaha :D

i strip it down pretty good to make my own but i never release it to the public out of respect and honesty.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Haha I don't mind that. Nor light versions :) In fact I often use those myself :D It's a number of other people who are (no longer) on XDA, that have habits of taking it, and calling it their own...

TBH this ROM is useless to anyone wanting to nick stuff and do a "hit and run", for various internal reasons, that would make it pretty obvious :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
hmm yeah, you have a point :) I do notice a remarkable silence just now... Particularly from whatshisface, who thought that because of "nemo" not being here, there were no updates...

/facepalm
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
Why have a rom based on KI4 and a radio KI1 for many people?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Uhm... KI4 ROM came with KI1 radio :)

Or am I missing the question? We never ship the radio as part of it - flash it afterwards (safer to know what you are flashing)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
"Sound effect not supported by speaker" when attempting to set effects in the default audio player.

Is there a possible fix?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm...

IIRC you are meant to use headphones for some of the effects... I doubt they work that well without headphones, hence are disabled for some.

Was this the same before?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
Thanks for your answer :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] davelinders:
Using this ROM now so far so stable.

Thnx for this good ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
ahhh i see. well, i found some xml files out of place too lol but i'll stop mentioning them now as you are fully aware ;)

edit: actually at this point, there are so many various differences between previous and new one... i'm not sure what to pull so i'm just gonna leave it ha
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stefcke:
Hey

What's new in the KI4 update?

Is this rom a Wipe?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] galinha:
Hello. Can i see all the market with 2.5 ? The build.prop was tweked ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
No changelog = no changelog = no list of updates = blame Samsung = just flash and explore!

Back to VR I come, gotta try this new build out!

Thanks Pulser for being the first.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
a lot.. .
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No wipe needed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Build.prop doesn't need to be tweaked to see all the market...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Hey pulser. few questions please mate. if i was to wipe this you suggest clean or just flash this. second regarding the modem im on checkrom KH3. When flashing rom will it give me the new modem or.do i need to flash that separate. cheers bud
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
I have 2 problems :

1-When I click on Manage applications : i have this message : the application settings (processcom.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

2-I have LauncherPro but I can't access it ?

IT S OK FOR THAT :)

I have always the 1 problem ? I'm alone with this problem (Manage applications) ?

Can you help me ?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
guys, big issue here

my wife's phone is still on 2.4.2 and this morning she tried to take a picture and all of the sudden she got an error "sd card is being used as mass storage". now she cannot locate any of her files on the internal storage. as a matter of fact she doesn't have sd card. I checked under settings > storage and all I see is usb storage avaiable & used is at 11.50 gb.

also all backups are gone

can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
Both of these have been answered. There is no modem in the ROM, and the ROM does not require a clean flash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
So what modem you suggest to use then? Cause whats the point flashing the rom if im on kh3 still
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
You do realize there are other improvements other than just the modem, right? The modem is a small part of the overall experience.

You can try KI1 which is linked in this thread. KI4 originally came with the KI1 modem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
but on the basbandversion on this rom i have KI1 should i flash it again?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I know its a small part but the whole thing of trying it.out is to try and see if new modems are better than the old. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
No need if it says KI1 its KI1

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Modems are specific to where you live, whats good for me might not work right for you, experiment to find out
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
Nobody with this problem ? :(: When I click on Manage applications : i have this message : the application settings (processcom.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

Gtalk

Hi, I just updated from VR 2.4.2 to 2.5, also modem KH3 to KI1.

I tried to use gtalk, and I cannot find the option for video chat anymore. Any idea?

Thank you

Should I use the tweak for 2.4.2?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
@ Matriak

Nevermind saw already that you know it already. But it's still a nice explanation for noobs, assuming I'm right.

I would say updating the rom is like updating your operating system on your computer. It solves security leaks, stability bugs etc.

Updating the modem is like updating the firmware of your router. It might help you to improve the signal strength but it won't make your computer faster maybe just the internet connection a little bit.

I guess updating the modem could be important if you live in an area with a bad signal. If you live in a city with a good coverage then it won't affect the result so hard.

It's like with the cpu freq's. The difference between 200 Mhz and 500 Mhz is huge.

The difference between 1000 Mhz and 1200 Mhz barely notable except from Benchmark points.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
I have the same problem with Running Services, Memory usage :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Its because overscroll. Nothing to do with this rom. Im sure you installed one of my mods with OS?Pick stock overscroll from my thread.

When leaving bug report tell what mods installed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Answered few posts above, revert from overscroll mod...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Modems will depend on what's suited best for your area, network and what you feel gives you the best overall experience etc it will vary for most people. I'm still on KH3 at the moment but am going to try KI1 to see if that's any good if not I know KH3 works perfectly. As for the point of this ROM, if you stick around long enough and read up you'll work that out. I flashed VR and haven't looked back after coming from a few other ROM's earlier on in my SGSII ownership and see no reason to jump ship to any other.

It's also the only ROM to try give back to the users by giving us a learning experience. In the earlier versions we were shown the way to bring all necessary parts of the ROM together and after people got a good enough understanding Pulsar now gives us the core functions included but lets us try modems, tweaks etc to customise the ROM to our liking and even makes it easier for themers. I don't think much more has to be said to be fair. Best ROM available for me and you can see by those that come back to VR, I'm not the only one that thinks this ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crachel:
I came from KH4, it looks like the "Power savings" widget as well as "Settings -> Power saving" are updated/different on KI4
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Why thank you for your very insightfull answer really wouldnt know what to do if there wasnt people like you here. rom version KI4 so obviously people would expect the rom to come with that modem. yes again will say its a small part but for some people they like to try new roms that come with the full package. and if that doesnt its not wrong for people to ask why the modem has not came with it and what to.do in a situation ie flash the new one or stay with the old. anyway il stick and wait and see what checkrom does. peace out
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
I have install that : APM + CRT + OS + JKays Circle Battery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
First impressions,

This seems fast, smooth as well. No lags or anything with Go Launcher smooth as butter.

Tomorrow will calibrate battery and test in that regards, flashed new modem as well so will see how it all performs together.

No major changes that I can see, only talkback and new trim icon. Don't use any stock widgets so can't comment on those.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks mate your answer is much appreciated and well put than some of the others on here. i like what pulser did with the previous version and wanted to try this one as well. but annoys me when some people give some.stupid comments. anyway thanks again and apologies to anyone for actually asking questions. and just so people know i do appreciate the hard work that the vr team do because we get it for free and i wish i had a quarter of their talent to do the amazing.work that they do.. thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
It's ok without this mod. But if I want that to install this, is it possible ? How ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
Done a Modified Mms.apk if anyone wants it:

100 limit to the amount of contacts per message.

100 sms's before changing to a mms.

Better smilies.

Backup original Mms.apk (from system/app), then unzip and copy over this modified one.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
As stated on last page, you need to currently use the version with stock OS in the original thread as there is a problem for now which the dev is aware of.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ice cool:
I've read this thread and haven't found anyone else complaining about this.

The keyboard I use is the one from the old phones with the keys abc, def ... an so on, but I found a bug since when I try to use it with t9 either on or off the only thing I've been able to type is numbers. I previously was on 2.4.2 with not such issue, but have recently flashed 2.5.0 and ki1 modem and found this bug!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
I'm not sure if I get your answer. Should that be sarcasm?

It's hard to tell because it's written and not my native language.

If yes> Why? Just wanted to help nothing else.

If not> I should probably go to bed.

Edit: I think it really is, how surprising. Ingratitude is the world's reward. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
As I understand it not possible with this rom?:confused:(all my exus if I do not understand everything I'm french)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I appreciate all the help i can get, so i could get the best out of my phone. Well your reply did came like it was being sarcastic. but anyway thanks for your reply and il flash the rom and see how it goes
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Doesn't look like it at the moment but I'm sure we'll be made aware in his thread when it is. In the meantime flash the revert to bouncy from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17712163&postcount=274

This way the only thing that you'll lose is the OS which is what is causing the problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Spotted interesting features...

Long press power, task manager. Storage tab. There are 2 developer options. One to enable, one to disable.

It makes a log in root of sd, 2 files. One with cpu info, another with battery state over time.

Anyone else found this and played with it yet?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Umm... The entire point of VR is that it is safe to flash since it doesn't mess around flashing radio.

If you find KH3 better for your signal, you can use it. Otherwise you get the package, but remember this is a ROM for those who want to get the best out their phone and know how to do so :) To them this is a tool.

If you want premade themes in roms, and apps preloaded, go elsewhere probably...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
Thanks a lot for your patience but what is OS ?

Edit : I think it's overscroll. It's allright ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Oh don't tell me Samsung decided video gtalk would be too big to give us... :p

I mean, they have to keep some new features for the inevitable, and hopelessly delayed, ICS update... I guess they could give sip and gtalk with video then...

I will sort this tomorrow
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes you are right
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If you actually took the time to read abit further on you can see what i have written and praising you and your team for the work you guys do. So please read on and see and notice when some comments and appreciates what you do for us than just simply say to them were to go. yes maybe i do like themes and etc but i liked your previous version and i thought i try this ome as well. so thanks again for the work you put in and its appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just made call on 3g and did a network USSD code? Both ok. Have you checked your network isn't having issues, and done a power off, remove battery, reinsert and boot?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yup Intratech poster it in this thread today. If you hit search in thread, then advanced search, and pop in his username, you will see it :)

KI1 is the modem version
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, under to 800, and a sleep max of 500... That might not work for everyone though...

Hope you like your new phone :)

Already got the black one, just fancied white :P haha
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
I don't think my network is having issues as it was working fine just before I flashed and stopped right after, but it's definitely possible that it's a coincidence. I'll test more while I'm at work because they are different cell towers there.

I also tried power off/remove battery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
I flashed back to the stock OS and I no longer have force close as stated above.

It is also worth stating that I was getting a force close when trying to use WhatsApp Messenger, and flashing back the stock OS seems to have fixed that force close also.
